Value of the chest radiograph before cardiac catheterisation in adults.

Prospective assessment of the value of a chest radiograph in the performance of diagnostic cardiac catheterisation in adults.

OBJECTIVE To assess the value of a chest radiograph in the performance of diagnostic cardiac catheterisation in adults. PATIENTS AND METHODS 340 consecutive diagnostic cardiac catheter procedures in adults at one institution. It is normal practice for primary operators to report the results of catheterisation using a graphical user interface database system. Data entry screens were modified t...

Right paratracheal mass on chest X-ray: an important part of the checklist before cardiac catheterisation.

BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/bcr-2016214448 DESCRIPTION Infrahepatic inferior vena cava (IVC) interruption with azygos continuation is a rare congenital anomaly with a prevalence of 0.6–2.0% in patients with congenital heart disease. Many of these patients are expected to undergo cardiac catheterisatio...

The Chest Radiograph

The chest radiograph accounts for a very significant proportion of imaging throughout the world. It often represents the first imaging step, not only in diseases that focus on the cardiovascular and respiratory systems, but in systemic illness. For this reason, its ubiquity can be beguiling. There is an inclination to feel that because one grows up with the chest radiograph, there must be an in...
